Tuna Cutlets

cutlet

Tuna cutlets are one of my favourite snacks that my mom cooks for us. Whenever I go home on vacation, she'll always make sure she makes these for me at least once. They're just so soft on the inside and wonderfully crisp on the outside. Strangely, I love the combination of these cutlets with laban (that's Arabic for buttermilk). Dunking these hot and crispy cutlets into chilled laban is pure heaven! If you have nothing interesting for dinner, just plain rice and the usual veggie sides, a piece of cutlet on the side with some curd will always make it more enjoyable.

Ingredients:

For the cutlet mix:
Canned tuna - 1 tin white fish
Potatoes - 2
Onions - 1 large
Ginger - 1 inch
Curry Leaves - 1 or 2 sprigs
Ground pepper - 2 tsp
Salt to taste

Coating:
Egg - whole or egg white - 1
Bread crumbs to coat

Method:

Peel, cut potatoes to 3 or 4 pieces and boil them with some salt until soft and mash it well. Cutting them to small pieces will help it cook easily. Drain oil from canned tuna. I wash the tuna as well but its not necessary. Chop onions, ginger and curry leaves finely.

cutletingr

Heat oil in a pan. Add onions, ginger and curry leaves and saute till onions become translucent. Add the tuna to this. Sprinkle pepper powder and salt. Mix well. Now add the mashed potatoes and combine well to a good mix.
Shape into small cutlets before the mix cools down. Place the cutlets in the refrigerator to become more firm.
When you are ready to fry them, Add oil to cover a skillet (for shallow fry). Beat an egg in a bowl, get some bread crumbs on a plate. Dip the cutlet into the egg and then coat it with bread crumbs. Fry them until they turn golden brown.

Chettinad Chicken Curry

First night of non-vegetarian food after a whole week of eating bland stuff to recuperate from my fever.
Had three pieces of chicken breasts in the freezer which I defrosted, cleaned and cut up into little cubes. I made this amazing curry with lots of onions and garlic (more garlic than I have used throughout the past 5 months, my whole garlic stock is over now!)
But thoroughly enjoyed cooking this one.
Update: My hubby chose this recipe as his first "chicken" dish. After trying this again after 2 years, I must say the amount of garlic used is way too much!! So I have changed the quantity to make it more palatable.

Credit: http://solaiachiskitchen.blogspot.com/2008/03/chettinad-chicken-authentic-chettinad.html


It is needless to mention the specialty of this item in chettinad cusine.The mouth watering taste of this dish is known all over the world .All non vegetarians in Asia for sure would have tasted this at least once. There are hundreds of recipes for chettinad chicken on the net written by almost all food bloggers. Though many of them are similar to the original one. I have tried to find out the original recipe from my mother and grand mother and has presented the authentic chettinad recipe. For the authentic taste, the masala has to be grinded in the hand grinder. But these days it is rather impossible and hence has to be satisfied with the taste of the masala made in the mixie

Ingredients:

Chicken-750 gms
Pearl onion 30 or large onion 2
Tomatoes-2
Garlic 5 pods

To grind No1Ginger ½ inch piece
Small onion-10
Garlic-3 pods
Green chillies-2
Chilli powder-1 table spoons
Coriander powder-2 table spoons

To grind No2
Coconut grated-5 table spoons
Cashew nut-5 or kasa kasa (poppyseeds) -2 teaspoons
Fennel seeds-1 teaspoon

To season
Cinnamon-2 pieces
Fennel seeds-1 teaspoon
Clove-2
Cardamom-2
Birinji leaf-little
Mint leaf-handful
Curry leaf little

Traditionally chicken is not marinated before cooking in Chettinad chicken.As they used to cook in low fire for a long time in olden days the chicken will get the salt and hot taste once it gets cooked. These days the chicken we use is tender and gets cooked fast in gas stove. So I feel it is better to marinate the chicken for an hour before cooking. If you do not find time to marinate, then no problem.
To marinate1 teaspoon kuzhambu milagai thool(the powder used for sambar)-recipe availble on http://solaiachiskitchen.blogspot.com/2009/03/true-achis-kuzhambu-milagai-thool.html
My Note: I used Sriram's Cheeky Chettinad Chicken masala
Salt-1 teaspoon
Curd little
Ginger garlic paste-1 teaspoon

Method:

Mince the onion, garlic and tomatoes.
Keep the kadai in the stove. Season the curry with the items given in ‘to season’ in 2 tablespoons of oil.
Add the onions and saute with a pinch of salt for 3 minutes.
When the onions turn transparent add the garlic, sautƩ for some time
Add the chopped tomatoes. SautƩ till the whole thing gets smashed.
Add the grinded paste of items given in No 1. SautƩ it for a while.
Now add the chicken pieces and nicely mix all the masala over the chicken pieces.
You can see lot of water coming out of the chicken. Reduce the flame and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
Once you find that the chicken pieces are almost cooked increase the flame so that the gravy becomes thick.
Once the curry gets thick add the masala grinded with the items given in No2 and mix nicely
Cook for another 5 minutes.
If you need the curry to be little watery add the masala little earlier and switch off when the curry is in the desired consistency.


The curry should be cooked till the oil seperates
My Note: I garnished with coriander leaves in the end. Served it on a bed of rice with a little curd and pickle. Although while eating I felt I could have eaten the rice just with the chicken curry. But did it just for bee's sake.

Chocolate Pancakes

chocpancake

Made these delicious pancakes for breakfast today. I was all out on sugar, so compensated with sweet cocoa powder (by Cadury's) and brown sugar, and it was fabulous!
I put in all the powders together in a bowl, then added a cup of milk and whisked it a bit. Broke an egg into the bowl and whisked it again. Added melted butter and then started to make the pancakes. Simple!
I will be posting its pictures soon as I have finally bought a DSLR camera.. photographs undergoing post-production processing now.. oh yeah! gonna learn all the details about photography too!

Suggestions (for you) by substituting the all purpose flour for a whole grain flour. Whole wheat flour is an obvious substitute. Worried about compromising flavor and texture? Don't be! There are many types of whole wheat flours that are sweeter and lighter. Hard white wheat flour creates similar results as all white but is much better for you. There are other choices, too, like kamut flour, spelt flour, oat flour, and teff flour. These are all healthier alternatives. So explore...discover...and ENJOY!

Coriander-Mint Chutney

CorianderMintChutney
There are tons of variations of this green chutney that I found on the net.
I particularly liked vahchef's green chutney post as it gives 3 different types of green chutneys that you can use. It doesnt involve onions in the basic paste. 
Also in Sanjeev Kapoor's post, I saw that the ratio of coriander to mint leaves is 2:1 (2 portions of coriander leaves to 1 portion of mint leaves), whereas in vahchef's post, its the exact opposite. I tried the Sanjeev Kapoor ratio as I feel coriander leaves are more mild and mint leaves are more strong, hence a little amount of mint will be sufficient. Also I do not have pomegranate seeds (dry or fresh), but as the purpose is to add a bit of sweet and tanginess to it, I already have the tamarind-date sweet chutney prepared and stored in the fridge. So I will be using couple of tablespoons from that. Another time I prepared it, I added a teaspoon of sugar.

Vahchef:


Sanjeev Kapoor:


Also in Showmethecurry's Coriander chutney post, I saw that adding a few drops of oil to the chutney helps in increasing the shelf life of the chutney. (they intended to freeze it, but I'm deciding to just chill it in the top shelf of the refrigerator)
Showmethecurry:


So in the end, this is what I did and it turned out just awesome!

Ingredients:

Jeera (cumin seeds) - 2 tbsp
Green chillies - 2 long ones (turned out to be quite hot so can change it to one next time)
Ginger - about 2-3 inch long piece
Garlic - 5 cloves
Coriander leaves - 1 bunch (2 portions)
Mint leaves - 1 bunch (1 portion)
Sweet tamarind-date chutney - 3 tbsp / Sugar - tsp / Dry pomegranate seeds - 2 tsp
Salt - a pinch
Lime juice - half a lime
Oil - 1 tsp

Method:

Blend all ingredients in a chutney grinder (mixer) except for oil and lime juice. You might have to open it, mix it up a bit and blend again. This process may have to be repeated about 5-6 times till you get a nice green paste. Better to fill the mixer jar upto half with the leaves first, and then slowly add the remaining leaves. Then squeeze half a lime into it and you can serve it as it is if using now. If you plan to store it in the refrigerator, add a teaspoon of oil (vegetable/canola/sunflower/palm) to it and mix well. Store in an air tight container.

Today, I served it with aloo tikki and sweet chutney along with paav. :) So sort of like a vada paav minus bhel and butter. It was an appetizer as dinner is going to take some more time.

When you make kababs or biryani and want a nice dip with it? Add 2-3 tablespoons of yoghurt to the chutney as per your liking and serve.

Tonight's dinner: Steamed rice, tomato sambar, fried pomfret smeared with the green chutney paste, mango ginger pickle and some curd with extra green chutney on the side :) yum!!

Banana Pancakes

Another ripe banana used for breakfast today using this recipe. :)

Credit: http://www.easy-banana-recipes.com/caramel-banana-pancakes.html

Servings: 10-12 pieces (depending how big you make them)
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Comments:
Caramel sauce can be prepared days ahead, and kept in refrigerator. When needed, simply warm in pan or heat in microwave. To serve pancakes, place cooked pancakes onto a serving plate, topped with the sliced bananas and warm caramel sauce. Delicious!

Ingredients:

Ingredients for Pancakes:
2 ripe bananas, 1 diced/mashed (for batter) and 1 sliced (for serving)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups fresh milk
1 1/2 tablespoon castor sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/4 teaspoon salt
Ingredients for Caramel Sauce:
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup whipping cream

Method:

1. Sift flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Stir in sugar and salt.
2. Whisk milk, butter and vanilla essence together until soft. Add to flour mixture and mix until combined, but still lightly lumpy.
3. Add bananas to the batter and mix.
4. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Grease pan with a little extra butter. Working in batches, pour 1/4 cup of batter into pan and use a spoon to spread batter out to a 12cm (diameter) circle. Reduce heat to low. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles start to appear on surface. Turn the pancake over and cook for a further 2 minutes, or until cooked through.
5. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing pan in between pancakes.

Directions to Prepare Caramel Sauce:
1. Place all ingredients in pan and bring to the boil over moderate heat, stirring all the time until sugar dissolves.
2. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often until nice semi-thick consistency is reached.

My note: I did not prepare the caramel sauce, as I already had ready made pancake syrup (Goody Pancake Syrup) which worked well with these pancakes. Good part about this pancake recipe as eggs are not being used in it. So makes it more healthy. :)

Dum Aloo

Was watching the world cup final tonight, but had to cook something quick for dinner too. Kitchen hardly had any stuff that I could work with.. found 3 potatoes and tried to look for some curry that can go with rice, as I dont think I can make chappathis with all this excitement.
Decided to make Dum aloo with Tomato sambar.

Credit: http://www.indianvegetariankitchen.com/2009/01/dum-aloo.html

Ingredients:

Potatoes-3 small(pressure cooked, peeled and cut into big pieces)
Salt
Oil-2 tbsp
Curd/Yogurt-2 tbsp
coriander leaves- to garnish
Kasuri methi(optional)-a pinch(crushed)
Lime juice-from 1/2 lime(optional)

Spice powders(adjust the quantities according to your taste)
Turmeric powder- 1/4 tsp
Kitchen king masala-1 and a half tsp (I used 1/2 tsp cumin powder and 1/2 tsp pepper powder instead)
Garam masala powder-1/2 tsp
Coriander powder-1 tsp
Red chilli powder

To grind(without adding water) into a paste:
Onion-1/2 cup
Ginger-1 inch piece
Garlic-2 pods
Green chilli-1

To grind separately into a paste:
Tomatoes-2 medium sized or 3 small

Method:


Heat oil in a pan. Add onion-ginger-garlic paste. Fry for 5 minutes.
Then add tomato paste and spice powders and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil. If the mixture is too thick, add water and bring it to a desired consistency. Simmer and cook until the raw smell is gone. It will take at least 30 minutes approximately.
Add yogurt, potatoes and cook for 5 more minutes. Garnish with coriander leaves, kasuri methi and squeeze lime juice. Serve with rotis.

Note: Add curd in the end and cook no longer than 5 minutes on very low flame to prevent the gravy from curdling.

Date and Tamarind Chutney

I made this as an accompaniment to the banana pooris. Its the traditional sweet chutney that is served in chaats that I love so much! And its quite easy to prepare as well.. Its best served chilled but as I did not have time to refrigerate it (had a hungry bee breathing down my neck!), I served it warm and it went quite well with cold yoghurt, yesterday's cold spicy tomato chutney (recipe posted already) and coriander chutney.

Credit: http://www.grouprecipes.com/11916/sweet-chutney.html

Ingredients:

Dates: 250 gms
Tamarind:150 gms
Jaggery: 50 gms
Garam masala: 1 tsp
Jeera Powder: 1 tsp
Black pepper Powder: ½ tsp
Salt

Method:

Remove seeds from dates & tamarind. Wash & soak in just enough warm water for 30 minutes. Grind to a paste, pass through sieve. Add chopped jaggery & cook for 5 minutes till jaggery melts. Remove from fire, add salt, garam masala, jeera powder & black pepper powder. Store in fridge. If too thick, dilute with plain water, adjust seasoning.


Banana Poori

This was today's breakfast.. or rather brunch.
As I said in my previous post, I had this ripe banana that I had to use before it rots and I would have no choice but to throw it away.
It just the regular chappathi dough to which you add mashed banana in the end. Since it would be too sticky, I kept adding more atta till I got the right consistency to roll it.

Credit: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art24948.asp

Pooris are a delicious deep-fried Indian bread and the addition of ripened bananas makes them even harder to resist. Pooris (or puris) are enjoyed throughout India and are eaten particularly on festive occasions and holidays. This particular recipe is a favorite among both kids and adults alike. This dish is a great way to use over ripe bananas, in fact, the more ripe the banana the better! These pooris can be eaten for breakfast or as a light snack or meal and are especially great for picnics since they travel well.


BANANA POORI

Ingredients:

2 cups whole wheat flour (atta)
a few tbsp of all-purpose flour, as needed
1 large very ripe banana
salt to taste
pinch of freshly ground nutmeg
oil for deep frying
water as needed

Method:

Peel and mash the banana, set aside until needed. A fork works really well for this task.

In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and the salt. Mix together and slowly add the water while kneading until a soft dough is formed. If the dough is sticky, add a little all-purpose flour. Add the mashed banana along with the freshly grated nutmeg and carefully mix them into the dough adding a little extra flour if needed.

Using a clean work surface sprinkled with some all-purpose flour, gently knead the dough and divide it equally into round balls (roughly ping pong ball size). At this point, you can use a poori machine (similar to a tortilla press) or a rolling pin to make the pooris. Roll them out evenly into round circles (4-5 inches in diameter). Heat a deep skillet with enough oil to deep fry. When hot, carefully add the pooris (2-3 at a time) and fry until golden brown. You may need to fry them in batches. Drain well and serve immediately with your favorite sweet chutney and yogurt.

Variations:

Instead of using freshly grated nutmeg, you could add a pinch of saffron or a pinch of freshly ground cardamom instead. You can even make banana pooris using chai masala (¼ tsp) and they will be a huge hit!

You can also caramelize the bananas in a skillet with a little butter. Peel and cut the banana into small pieces and brown in a skillet on medium high heat with a tbsp of butter. You can add a pinch of cinnamon or freshly grated nutmeg along with a tbsp or so of brown sugar. The bananas should break down and caramelize along with the sugar. Mash the mixture if needed. Let the mixture cool entirely before adding it to the dough.

Banana pooris can also be served along with shrikhand (sweetened yogurt).

Spicy Tomato Chutney

This is what I prepared for tonight's dinner. Bee came back from the UK today. Boy what a HOT day today was!! Bangalore has become unbearable hot to withstand. Bee is feeling kinda sick coz of the climate change and wanted somethin to cool his body down. When I told him I had chappathis and havent figured out the side dish yet, he asked if I could prepare a spicy tomato chutney. I reckon he remembered the usual tomato chutney which was chilled and spicy that we used to have at this north indian mess called Prayag Raj. So I googled it and found something similar..
Credit: http://www.foodreference.com/html/spicytomatochutney.html

Ingredients:

½ cup corn oil (I used canola oil)
1 tablespoon mustard seed, toasted
4 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon cumin
4 yellow onions, finely minced (used 1 large and 1 medium onion - sliced it, and put it into the mixer jar and gave it a quick turbo pulse)
20 Roma tomatoes, coarsely chopped (I used about 6 usual tomatoes)
4 tablespoons minced ginger
Salt
6 jalapeƱos, minced (I used 3 long green chillies sliced finely)
3 cups packed cilantro, cleaned and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon ground fenugreek seed**

Method:

In a large pot, over medium heat, (I splutteed mustard seeds first, added jeera) fry garlic, onion, ginger, and jalapeƱos(green chillies) in oil for one minute.

Add spices (fenugreek powder) and continue cooking for one more minute.
Add tomatoes and a dash of salt and bring to a boil.

Cook for 15 minutes (covered with lid) or until almost reduced to a coarse paste.
Cool it.. try serving it chilled with chappathis and coriander chutney on the side.

Chemmeen Peera - Shrimp cooked with Coconut and Gambooge

I think Chemmeen Peera is a truly authentic dish from Kerala that almost symbolizes the coastal cuisine of the state. When people visit Kerala in search of exotic dishes, I think this should be considered a must! Simply lip smacking tangy goodness!
This is an absolutely fabulous dish that goes really well with rice and moru curry. Always a huge hit at home.. gets people to lick their fingers and plates clean.
